Mario, Here is the third mission description...I'm still working on the mission itself. "title_string"=Operation Mezzagosto - A greeting by Der spaten "summary_string"=Achtung, Meine Herren! After gaining intelligence on the fleet's location earlier in the day, we have decided to greet the massive Pedestal convoy with a combined raid of both level & torpedo bombers. Your target is the carrier HMS Indomitable. "objective_string"=Through the early evening of 11 August, 1942, the Pedestal convoy sustained the first significant air attacks of the battle by four successive waves of Axis bombers: thirty Junkers Ju-88s & six He-111 torpedo planes were just one attack. In this raid, no hits were scored on the vessels, and two of the Ju-88s were shot down. "intelligence_string"=The enemy convoy sighted yesterday is now within range of Sardinia. We're prepared to execute the first assault. Take your place in an Heinkel He-111 torpedo bomber and direct your torpedoes toward the enemy carriers. The Ju-88 bombers will attack the remainder of the enemy fleet. Und passen Sie auf sich auf! "player_aircraft_name_string"=Heinkel He-111h-6 "airfield_string"=Sardinia - Elmas

Mario, Here is the scoop for mission two... "title_string"=Operation Mezzagosto - Dreifinger reconnaissance "summary_string"=Kamerad, herhören! After being alerted by French reconnaissance that the enormous Pedestal convoy entered the Mediterranean, we gained intelligence from our own source as to where the Allied convoy should be. Your mission is to find and photograph them. Make sure that you take the pictures and get home without incident! "objective_string"=The Pedestal convoy was identified at about 0830 hours on 11 August, 1942 by a Ju-88 bomber on a reconnaissance mission. Once the Pedestal convoy was spotted, the Axis forces sat & waited for the convoy to get within range of their airbases, then raided it during an evening assault by bomb-laden Ju-88s and torpedo-carrying He-111s. "intelligence_string"=Once airborne, hold a west-southwesterly heading and climb up to a cruising height of 5,500 meters. The estimated convoy position is to the southwest of the Baleric islands. Once over the convoy, hold a steady course and speed as you photograph, but don't stray above 5,700 meters, or the photos will lack detail. Once this is completed, you may return to Sardina. Hals und Beinbruch! "player_aircraft_name_string"=Junkers Ju-88a-11 (Italy, 1941) "airfield_string"=Sardinia - Elmas

Missions 12 and 13 went well. Mission 13 is a turkey shoot, but challenging nonetheless. Except for missions 8, 10 and 11 this concludes the Allied portion of the campaign set. Missions 10 and 11 went the same way as Mission 9. They hung up and crashed as soon as the enemy aircraft spawned in. Rami has said he'll work this out later.

I'm having trouble with the textures now. it seems it wants to use only the portion that the wep_puw_12kg_gp bomb uses. i mapped it to a different location. :isadizzy:

Blood_Hawk23 replied to a thread How can I increase the speed of an aircraft? in CFS2 General Discussion

the prop pitch has a huge effect on you top speed. a variable pitch prop will give you the ability to adjust the pitch to gain the best angle for climbing and at cruise. remember that the propeller is a wing. if the pitch is to great it will stall and no longer creat lift. or in this case thrust. see if the aircraft has a variable pitch prop. if it does then find the propeller controls and use them while flying.

there is no text that I know of. its funny that alot of people think that this is a game. we must remember it is a simulator. the kool thing about this is real world information translates well. In other words, what works on a real aircraft can be applied to these aircraft. i suggest getting a copy of Air wrench. now you can not make adjustments in it (unless you get the full version) but it will help show you the effects of your changes. just a thought: i think that thrust is equal to torque but please don't quote me on that. In automobiles if you increase the torque then you increase its ability to go faster. torque gets you going and Horse power keeps you going. is an old drag racers term. i believe that thrust can be applied in the same way. sorry for the rambling.

Jinx, The props will generate two times as much thrust, making for a better climb rate, increased takeoff performance, and a higher top speed. The downside? Your range will be chopped by half.

Misson, Sólo quería hacerle saber que no me he olvidado de hacer la parte del eje de pedestal. No puedo decir que voy a trabajar en este proyecto a una velocidad vertiginosa, pero la operación Mezzagosto está en marcha, y estoy usando las misiones pedestal como una base para "dar la vuelta" y convertirlos en misiones Axis-temáticas. La primera es una Vichy reconnoitre francesa del convoy justo después de entrar en el Mediterráneo ... Yo no quiero darte algo demasiado difícil para empezar, ¿sabes? In English... I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about doing the Axis side to Pedestal. I can't say I will work on this project at breakneck speed, but Operation Mezzagosto is underway, and I am using the Pedestal missions as a base to "flip" them and turn them into Axis-themed missions. The first is a Vichy French reconnoitre of the convoy just after it enters the Mediterranean...I didn't want to give you something too difficult to start, you know? "title_string" = Funcionamiento Mezzagosto - Intrus dans la Méditerranée! "summary_string" = Ecoutez, les pilotes français! Un enorme convoy aliado ha entrado en el Mediterráneo, y es nuestra tarea para analizar la composición de este convoy y pasar la información a nuestros amigos alemanes e italiano cerca de Cerdeña y Sicilia. El convoy no está a su alcance por el momento. Las operaciones de combate pueden depender de la inteligencia, así que vamos a conseguir es correcta la primera vez!

Jinx, Sure, but in what context? Are you talking about in Mission Builder, or actual flight characteristics? If it's the latter, the quick and dirty way is to increase the thrust and engine scalars in the .cfg file above 1.0. Otherwise, it can be done by modifying data entries such as empty weight, manifold pressure, horsepower, compression ratio, cylinder displacement, and number of cylinders in the engine.

Mission 6 is now survivable, provided you don't try more than 3 passes. :) Get in, hit hard and get out fast. I found that flying as a wingman, you sometimes "lose" the return waypoint. I did so here and had to fly 21o miles back to base with a heavily damaged bird. A great mission Rami! Now, on to Missions 7 and beyond!
